LIFE IS A SHORT PARTY THAT WILL SOON BE FORGOTTEN.
Presented in split screen, VORTEX tells the story of an aging couple in a Paris apartment.

With this film, Director Gaspar Noé (Enter the Void, Climax, Irreversible) delivers a career best, finding a level of compassion and tenderness that sacrifices none of the visual excitement that has marked his best work.
